A difficult and treacherous game, danger lurks at every corner. Dysentery, snake bites and broken arms threaten the lives of you and your wagon mates.
...
Forts and landmarks are your only refuge against the harsh Oregon prairie. Deserts and lush woodlands, even though beautiful (for a 1994-ish game), can have thieves, and fires are also common when accidents happen. This game is gold, and it will be for generations. Even for its old age and okay graphics, the adventure can still captivate the minds of people and young people. Quality games will stand the test of time, like this game here.

We played this game on the Macs in the lab, and it got competitive. Many players killed an wiped out. UNTIL
I did a spread sheet ROI ( Return on investment ... ) and found that the trading of 1 clothing for 1 ox netted you $10 with no movement...
Next we all started as teachers, just enough stuff to race to the end, no food ( hunting scarcity was a myth ), and waited near the end, and traded ox for clothing, until you got so bored...
You have to stock up with everything at the beginning, and run the trail so you don't fall short, then at the very end, you trade everything for oxen, then trade all that for clothes, and then its trade 1 clothes for 1 ox, until you get to 20 oxen, then trade for up to 50 clothes, then sell them for 10 a piece, and start back trading for 1 ox for 1 clothes ( $10 profit ).
I was the first to get to 100,000 and a pair of students worked on a saved game for a semester until they got to 1 million.
They should have made this particular trade rare as hell.

I liked this game back in the old days. It was pretty easy to get a pretty good score. You just hunt all the time, taking 200 lbs of food at a time, and
...
when you get to at least 1,200 lbs you sell it off for $200.00 at a time. If you were to buy 500 lbs of food from the forts it would cost you a small fortune, but if you sell it for $200.00 at a time, for anywhere up to however much you want to part with, you can make a pile of money. When your people get sick you rest for a few days until they are in "good" health again. So it's a good idea to start as early in spring as possible.

correctly. I tried using chrome and it worked! When the game loads, it should ask you if you want to disable the mouse cursor (say yes). This will cause the mouse to move properly during the game, although it will not let you move the mouse outside the game. If you want to move the mouse outside the game, press the esc key. Hope this helps :)
Note: I did not use firefox (only chrome) so I do not know if it has the same problem as safari.

Folks, you should actually Read all the comments before asking questions. One person told you there is no way to download because THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD

BUTTON! She is correct. And for those who can't get it to work using Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox, Safari and so on, it works just fine - not a single glitch - on my old-fashioned PC using GC. Bear in mind this was made in 1992, well before PS, XBOX, etc. You're attempting to cross the West in a covered wagon pulled by oxen - NOT driving your new KIA on paved roads. That's likely a pretty decent comparison. Sorry for your problems (especially for the kid who got it to work during class but not later, wah) but sometimes you have to use the correct equipment, especially on a site that's providing you with free data that is ancient in terms of technology. That said, the original is much funner, imo. This one's waaay too easy. I'd never heard of either before today. Guess I'm just an old geezer -- but one that had no problems!

Go play the original version. I cannot stop playing the 1990 game for some reason. It is a shiny gem... where as the deluxe edition is more like a dull pile of buffalo chips.

of the original Oregon Trail game, I'm not sure why it wasn't put on here. Make sure you have all adware/popup blockers disabled, as they can cause the game to not work. These games were fairly recently put up, so they are still in the process of working out bugs.
The game is exactly as I remember it! Love it! Only wish I could figure out why I keep getting two pointers in-game, but pressing escape, followed by going back to fullscreen, help.

I was able to get 9911 high score, but I think you could actually increase your high score infinitely by exploiting the trading system while you are at
...
a fort. Trade stuff at the fort for cash at a profit, then buy more at the general store and repeat the process, the forts never seem to run out of supplies..
I took a year to get to the end, but I didn't lose anyone along the way.. another exploit is the resting timer. You are never penalized for resting too much.. natives never attack, you never run out of water.. as long as you have enough food you can wait as long as you want to heal up your party members. 5 days rest, then 2 days rest after that cured just about every illness. Though some illnesses took almost a month to heal.
Also I decided to trade everything I own for cash at The Dalles before I went down rafting.. you don't need any other items for rafting.. though I did keep some sets of clothes and a little food for role play.
You get more points at the end for cash than for any other items, so I ended up with over 3200 dollars at the end of the trip by exploiting the trading system.. mostly I sold my extra food that I got from hunting along the way to other Wagoneers and Native Americans.

!st, the mouse works best in full screen. 2nd, if you can't type numbers in the store, you need to use the numpad. Not the numbers above the letter keys.
...
For those without numpad, sorry.

Many people have this problem and we'd all like to play. Downloaded firefox and couldnt even move the mouse around. Amazing website but too many bugs for me to enjoy.

Since more than one person has pointed it out and STILL have gotten replies that ignore what they've said:
Putting this in full screen doesn't work for ... everyone, for some reason. I click it, and literally nothing happens. The other buttons work, namely the one to toggle between light and dark screens. But there is NO way, for some at least, to even put it into fullscreen in the first place. So if that does solve the problem of the cursor, great. But please stop ignoring that people have said more than once that the fullscreen toggle itself does not work.

Dear zw2100,
I will accept your three sets of clothes as I got high score of 9577 as a teacher.
It was great playing the game again. The dosbox sound ... was iffy but still fun.

this took me back to my days in elementary school when mt class played this game for rewards. I loved it then and I like it now. There are a few issues
...
I had at first with the mouse pointer not being in line with the windows pointer but I figured out that if you go to the fullscreen size then back to normal it will work fine in Google Chrome, at least it did for me. I aslo had issues with the number keypad but I quickly found out to use the numbers above the letters on my keyboard and it works fine. Just like old times I got killed first time out but scored about 3400 my second try as an aonymous user so I'm liking this throw back to the late '80s.

Not to brag, but... I just scored 9177 as a Teacher (all 5 survived). If you can beat that, I'll give you 3 sets of clothes.
The game works well for ... me in Chrome. Only issue is the sound is wonky, but this seems to be the case for all games with sound on the site.

I first tried Internet Explorer then Chrome, but was unable to purchase items because the number keys wouldn't work with either of those browsers. You can download Firefox for free and it takes just a few seconds. I hope this helps some of you out.

All of the mouse issues can be resolved by going full screen. This will resolve the multiple mouse pointers and the ability to actually click on something

and have it work. You do not need a joystick for this game (that's just boiler plate verbiage).
The game plays just like the original, including the &^*!^!! random things (like the fire that took out over half my gear). Works great for me! Thanks!
